I think Tom Brady shouldn't punt that ball to show off in front of the nation. I guess that made Von mad.

Didn't that Pats POS punch Von prior to that hit? I guess NE coaches how to get away with cheap shots really well too. Von needs to learn how to do that the Patriot way so he won't get fined...man I hate the Pats

It's not the first hit that get's penalized. It's the one that draws the official's attention and the retaliation is what gets flagged. Sad but true for 30+ years.

[Army Bronco]

Yeah, I know its always the second hit that gets called. That's why we have to strike first, strike hard , no mercy sir..., I can't hear you!!!

This was expected. I hope he keeps his cool next time.

[VonSackemMiller]

No big deal.

[Dapper Dan]

Whatever. He was blocking.

Why didn't they fine the other 2 pats players for retaliation? They fined miller cause he retaliated? So its ok to retaliate after an initial retaliation or is it ok to retaliate only if you play for the pats? I think its the later under chapter 4, subparagraph BS, and I quote" only a player for the NE Patriots may retaliate in a scuffle during any play" " Ref may call a penalty against any player on the opposing team who plays the NE Patriots if it will take away any advantage they may have over the Patriots" It's been in the rules since 2000.
